The Soul of the Book

The book that is in front of you is written with unintentional spontaneity. Every bookworm knows the initial joy of finding these notes, which we call autographs. With the increase in the number of favorite books, the number of discoveries increases too and there is a need that becomes to appear in me to share what has been found for all these years. These autographs have become a document of the past and of human relations hidden behind the covers of frequently forgotten (or forbidden) books.

This is what Tony Zarev did in his second book. It is a kind of continuation of the previous Literary Detective". Here is a chronological and illustrated narrative about the unknown and found by him literary treasures. All this is easily legible as a novel, which is actually our past and present. So the doctor, the sailor and the bookworm Tony Zarev gives us an accurate diagnosis and a curious picture of books, people and events. Working with autographs is like inspecting the divine initials of Michelangelo Buonarroti.
